Social Forum march to cause downtown traffic distruptions

The "People's Social Forum," connected to dozens of unions and progressive activist groups, plans a three-pronged march to Parliament Hill, beginning around 2 p.m.

One group will leave from Jacques Cartier Park, another from Victoria Island, and a third from the War Museum, meaning rolling traffic closures on the Alexandra, Portage, and Chaudiere bridges, as well as Wellington and Booth Streets in Ottawa, and Rue Laurier in Gatineau.
